Eric Reid fined for hit vs TB

Reid has paid one fine this year.....it was for the head-shot on Big Ben.

"Has paid one fine" 

He was fined by the NFL twice. One was dropped after an appeal. This would be his 3rd fine. Don't mislead the people.

Good lesson for Tepper to learn early in his ownership tenure.  Tepper is a very very smart man, never makes the same mistake twice.

With the death of Paul Allen, Tepper is now the wealthiest owner in the league. I don't think he will be as quick to lick the NFL's boot as you seem to hope he is.

It's not a fine if he doesn't have to pay it.

Last night the ref's threw a flag and called a penalty on Bobby Wagner for jumping over the line and blocking a Vikings FG attempt....

....subsequently they picked up the flag....

....no penalty.

Wagner didn't appeal. It was never officially a penalty.

"A fine or mulct is money that a court of law or other authority decides has to be paid as punishment for a crime or other offence. The amount of a fine can be determined case by case, but it is often announced in advance."

Reid appealed it. Now he doesn't have to pay the fine.

If no cash changes hands there is no fine.

3-years from now if a person looks at records on Eric Reid's track record of fines in the first 10 games he played for the Panthers, how many will show up?  (assumes the most recent proposed fine sticks)

Did the NFL levy a fine twice before this week?

Looks like it went over your head but my "lesson learned" comment was entirely tongue-in-cheek.  As evidence, see my next comment saying "in no way has the team been punished" by the NFL.

I believe David Tepper will be an exceptional steward for this franchise over the next 25 years --- his selection as the new owner was/is an outstanding outcome for the fans, the city, and the region. 

Also, Tepper clearly has major league F-you money, he ain't gonna lick anyone's boots. 

Lastly, on the "wealthiest" subject, even if Bezos does buy the Seahawks our owner Mr. Tepper might still be the wealthiest owner if a 30-day liquidity test were the determining requirement...

Nothing went over my head. You wrote the response I quoted in direct response to RumHam saying that the Panthers are being punished for signing Reid. If you can't make a cogent argument, that's not my problem. [But you knew that already. You're only in these threads to stir crap up, and fangirl on Tepper for some weird reason.]

Its not the same, he was still fined by the NFL.  He appealed it and a 3rd party decided it was unwarranted.  Doesn't mean the NFL didnt fine him. This one will most likely be appealed and decided by a third party that it was unwarranted as well.  Other players have been flagged for simmilar plays but not fined.  I find it odd that you really want Eric Reid fined so badly for just regular football play that was not malicious at all.

Oh they definitely attempted to fine him the 2nd time....

....but were unsuccessful in doing so.

Actually, as I think about it, at this point in time The Kneeler has only been fined once....

....#2 is in limbo, TBD.

Semantical arguments are for those who lack any real basis for their position. You're like twilight's retarded cousin.

What do you think of the "semantics" of that statement?

Once I used "lib****" in this forum and was roundly criticized for it, so I apologized and never used it again.

Do you have official clearance to use "retard" as you please?

I don't honestly care. I'll take my infraction or whatever is deemed necessary. Point still stands and I won't apologize.

You can call me anything you like, I don't care. 

However, plenty of people in these parts take offense to the use of that word....you should apologize and be done with it.

Again, your reaction to the "semantics" of that statement?

Answer my question.

Eric Reid really is living rent free in your head. It must really bother you, seeing someone who’s unwilling to compromise or lick boots like you would prefer him to.
